Welcome to the 9 A.M. Talk Net

The 9 A.M. Talk Net meets on ham radio weekdays at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time in the San Francisco Bay Area on the N6NFI/R (-145.230 MHz, 100Hz PL). We are not affiliated with any club, do not have a set topic, and especially encourage new hams to check-in and ask questions. This web site was designed to supplement the 9 A.M. Talk Net by providing additional information and resources to net participants. 25 YEARS AND GOING STRONG! The 9 A.M. Talk Net started during the 1980's when Arv, WA6UUT, and friends met at 10:00 A.M. to help new hams. The tradition continues! Click on the Talk Net Basics link on the left to find out more about how the net works, net control operators (past and present) and our history.

Pink, Mr. Mike and I have agreed to not enable audio file uploads to this site.
The issues were the future bandwidth impact on the host machine.
The suggestion is to provide a link to the audio file that is hosted on some other site.

You can get a free account with dropbox.com and use the public folder to store what you want to make available.
Then get the public url for that file and provide that as a link in your 9amtalk.net content.
Other file storage sites will work as well.

Experimental EchoLink station...

Hi All,
K6OJ and KJ6CHW are providing an Echolink station. The experimentation phase is almost completed. The preferred order of stations is K6OJ-R then KR6DD-R.

There are some advantages to the K6OJ station as it is a single purpose station (the computer is not being used for other things and the radio is not being used for other things), so the facility should be more predictable than KR6DD's Echolink station.

Current plans are that it will be enabled for special events (such as the 9amtalk net) or when particular authorized parties decide to enable it.
Thus, the impact of Echolink on N6NFI would be consistent with the impact of the existing Echolink stations.

Albert (KJ6CHW) has provided a computer, and Jon (K6OJ) provided a radio. Thanks to both of you for providing this facility

9AM net unleashed on Friday!

Come and unwind on Fridays where there is no arbitrary speech code. Just follow the FCC rules and be civil (no ad hominem). Truly talk about anything from physics to philosophy. You can smell the freedom in the air (and on the air). Hosted weekly by your humble net control, K6WX.
